Some quick hits to go with your Friday morning Granny Smith Apples:
1) Glad to hear that Ray Knight and others have problems with Rob Dibble, part of the Nationals announcer team that I gripe about often here.
2) Dickey wants his kids to read, and to read for understanding of the human condition. Wow. He's a great pitcher and a promoter of worthwhile development of youth.
3) Via Uni Watch Blog, the Orioles finally have retired numbers inside the ball park.
4) Mets lost. Braves lost. Oh well.
